Hi all,
We have been watching with excitement as the international DBpedia community races to higher coverage and a more homogeneous RDF view of the facts on Wikipedia. New labels are being added to the ontology for multi-language support, and dozens of mappings are being added so that more abundant awesomeness can be extracted for the upcoming 3.8 release of DBpedia.

http://mappings.dbpedia.org/sprint/progression.php

The Portuguese language community has pulled together a strong team and pushed their numbers all the way up to close to 85% of property occurrences covered. The Bulgarian language community has found a wonder making (the Stoichkov of mappings as some people refer to him), and managed to go from 0 to 66% in only a few days. Polish, Italian, French, Czech, Hungarian, Arabic and Basque are also steadily growing.

But English is stagnated. It is the largest Wikipedia and the glue between the internationalized chapters. Everybody should feel responsible for it, so it has the undesirable side effect that nobody is accountable?

I would like to reiterate the invitation to the DBpedia community to accept the challenge to push the English mappings to the 90% coverage line.

Can we do it?

Cheers,
Pablo

Pablo,

How about embellishing your reports with images of national flags. Ditto use of DBpedia URIs for countried in @href. Then we have the world cup of Linked Data mapping in full view :-)

Very nice!
